who came there from St. John to do the iron 
work for the large ships then building in 
Yarmouth and Digby Counties. He was the 
first blacksmith who undertook to fit and 
secure in position iron knees in ships on the 
stocks in these Counties. In the summer of

Raymond in the mail coach from Yarmouth 
to Salmon River and she gave me an inter- 
esting account of her children. She had 6 
sons and 4 daughters. Two children died 
young. Hereld, daughter, Mrs. Savary, died 
in 1889: and two sons, one of whom, Russell

had had 33 grandchildren, whose names she 
gave me from memory as we drove along, all 
of whom, except 6, were living in 1903. In- 
cluding her own children, the oflfspring of 
her marriage was 43 in 41 years, a remark- 
able record.
